Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ...

A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial cells continually repair faulty sections of their DNA. A new study adds to an emerging, radically new picture of how bacterial ...

Guarding genes against damage is a crucial and complex job, so it’s to be expected that cells have several mechanisms to repair DNA breakages, each providing support under different circumstances. For ...

A team of international researchers at the University of Oxford (Oxford) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), has discovered a new process for repairing damaged DNA that is ...

Scientists used magnetic tweezers to reveal how the RNA molecule ‘NIHCOLE’ repairs cell damage, hindering cancer treatments such as radiotherapy. If you want to defeat an enemy, one strategy you can ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to discover that proteins present in the nuclear membrane of cells directly ...

A research team led by Professor ZHAO Guoping at the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has unveiled a crucial mechanism that helps regulate DNA damage repair, ...

Searching for ways to extend the survival benefit of targeted therapies, a team led by researchers has identified a potential new tactic to disrupt the repair mechanism that cancer cells use after ...

Gene editing is a powerful method for both research and therapy. Since the advent of the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a quick and accurate tool for genome editing discovered in 2012, ...
